Ever since I started reading and collecting the Marvel GI JOE Comic book serries at issue 100, there have been alot of little things that I have noticed. Lots of people seem to remember some of the characters that were only seen in the comic serries.
BUT. ...In issue number 13 of the "Special Missions" they introduce 2 new "Probationary JOEs", Light foot an EOD specialist, and Mangler. They go on a mission in an APC with Dusty and Outback. Light Foot got a figure but Mangler seems to only have been seen in this one lonely JOE comic. ...He seems to be one of those very obscure characters along with "Shooter", "Sparks", "Cool Breeze", "Colonel Sharpe", "Keel Haul" and "Admiral Ledger". Nobody seems to remember this "Probationary JOE" that was killed in Trucial Abysmia in "GI JOE Special Missions 13". I've been curious about this for a long time now. So do you remember him?

That's a good issue. It would have made a good selection for the 25th/Modern comic packs with him and Lightfoot or Dusty or Outback, before two of those last three were released.

Marvel wanted to have a soilder killed in action but did not want to kill a Joe because every Joe is someone's Favorite Joe. So we make a joe with no figure and he can die. He was like a red shirt of the Marvel run.

You know Keel Haul wasn't a "one off" or forgotten character, right? He was the Admiral that came with the FLAGG and 1-2 carded figures.

Sparks and Shooter though, they fall in the same boat as ole Mangler. Fun fact about Sparks, Hasbro asked Sunbow to stop using him because they wanted their toys primarily featured. Since they already had Breaker and later Dial-Tone, Sparks pretty much got the axe As for Mangler, I vaugly remember him |
